A third-round draft pick back in 2011, Brown has never caught more than 41 passes in a season. |
Wed Aug 12 2015 | 14:46 | Brown fifth or sixth on Indy's initial wide receiver depth chart... |
Brown was fifth or sixth on Indy's initial wide receiver depth chart as he's been unspectacular so far in training camp, the Indianapolis Star reports. |
Brown may not make the final roster as there are seven receivers in camp fighting for five or six sports. Brown may not have much of a role on offense even if he makes the final roster. |
Tue Mar 31 2015 | 15:50 | Vincent Brown: Signs 1-Year Deal With Colts |
Brown signed a one-year contract with the Colts on Tuesday, and he is expected to compete for the No. 4 wide receiver role, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports. |
A third-round draft pick back in 2011, Brown has never caught more than 41 passes in a season. Injuries have been part of the problem, but he also failed to take advantage of the opportunities that came his way. With T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson and Donte Moncrief assumed to be Indy's top three wideouts, Brown will compete with a group that includes Duron Carter and Griff Whalen for the fourth spot on the depth chart. |
Fri Dec 26 2014 | 19:14 | Brown (groin) ruled out for Sunday's game against Broncos |
Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. |
The groin injury prevented Brown from practicing in any capacity during the week, so this is hardly a surprise. Brown's absence last week created an opening for Kenbrell Thompkins, who responded with five catches on seven targets for a season-high 90 yards in a win over Buffalo. |
Fri Dec 19 2014 | 18:32 | Brown (groin) ruled out for Sunday's game against Bills |
Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills. |
A calf injury ended Brown's tenure in San Diego, and he's been plagued by hamstring and groin issues since joining Oakland. He'll miss Sunday's game and his inability to practice in any capacity during the week suggests he may very well have played his final snap of the season. Brown is still sitting with just three career touchdowns, with only one since 2011. |

Brown has played a minimal role in the Raiders' offense since returning from a hamstring injury last month, catching nine passes on 17 targets for 96 yards in his last five games. With two straight missed practices to begin the week, Brown appears headed for the inactive list Sunday. His absence could create a few more opportunities for Brice Butler. |

Brown (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Broncos. |
Sidelined since Week 4 due to a hamstring injury, Brown has finally achieved active status, marking his third appearance in a Raiders uniform. However, the wideout remains at the bottom of the depth chart, which constrains his potential. |

Brown (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and is probable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, the Raiders' official site reports. |
Brown, who last played in Week 4, is on track to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday, but he'll need to establish his role in the Raiders' offense before being he merits fantasy consideration. |
Thu Nov 6 2014 | 17:55 | Brown (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday |
Brown (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, the Raiders' official site reports. |
Brown appears on track to return to action Sunday against the Broncos, but he'll need to re-establish his slot in the Oakland pass-catching ranks before he re-enters the fantasy equation. |

Brown, who last played in Week 4, would appear to have a chance to return to action this weekend against the Broncos, but he'll need to establish his role in the Oakland offense before meriting fantasy consideration. |

Brown (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, the Raiders' official site reports. |
Brown, who last suited up in Week 4, did not practice all Week, with his status for Week 10's contest against the Broncos cloudy as a result. |

Brown (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, ibabuzz.com reports. |
We'll check back on Brown's status Friday, but he's unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. |
Wed Oct 29 2014 | 20:46 | Brown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday |
Brown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, the Raiders' official site reports. |
Brown's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks looks iffy at this stage, a situation that impacts the Raiders' depth at wideout more than fantasy owners. |
Fri Oct 24 2014 | 17:52 | Brown (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against Browns |
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. |
A limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, Brown was unable to take the practice field Friday, suggesting the hamstring did not responded especially well throughout the week. Brown is now set to miss a third straight game as a result of the injury, leaving Brice Butler, Denarius Moore and Kenbrell Thompkins to compete for looks behind James Jones and Andre Holmes. |
Thu Oct 23 2014 | 18:36 | Brown (hamstring) limited participant in Thursday's practice |
Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. |
Brown was able to participate in a limited capacity both Wednesday and Thursday after not practicing at all last week, but his status for Sunday's game against Cleveland remains uncertain. Even if Brown does manage to achieve active status, he won't be worthy of serious fantasy consideration in most formats, as he's been targeted just four times this season and has one touchdown reception since 2011. |
Wed Oct 22 2014 | 19:30 | Brown (hamstring) practiced Wednesday |
Brown (hamstring) practiced Wednesday, ESPN.com reports. |
Brown thus has a chance to return to action as soon as Sunday against the Browns, but he has much to prove in a Raiders' uniform before re-entering the fantasy wideout discussion. |
Fri Oct 17 2014 | 18:39 | Brown (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against Cardinals |
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. |
With Brown set to miss a second straight game with the hamstring injury, the door is open for Denarius Moore, Brice Butler and perhaps even Kenbrell Thompkins to see some look from quarterback Derek Carr. James Jones and Andre Holmes figure to garner the majority of the targets, however. |
Thu Oct 16 2014 | 16:43 | Brown (hamstring) did not practice Thursday |
Brown (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, ESPN.com reports. |
The hamstring injury kept Brown from last Sunday's loss to San Diego, and he's in danger of sitting against Arizona as well after missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday. He would still have a chance to play if he can return to the practice field Friday, but Andre Holmes has emerged as a viable option opposite James Jones, so Brown would likely play a minimal role if active. |
Wed Oct 15 2014 | 19:42 | Brown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday |

Brown was inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Chargers and now looks iffy for Sunday's game against the Cardinals at this stage. |
Sun Oct 12 2014 | 14:43 | Brown (hamstring) inactive for Sunday's game against Chargers |
Brown (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers. |
It's never a good sign when a player pops up on the injury report late in the week as Brown did. He'll set his sights on attempting to return next week against Arizona. |
